Need to do this because the box my internet provider gave me already is useing 192.168.1.1 and can not be changed on there box and when I set up this extender it's trying to take the same IP so I need to change it so it works properly

Go back to my first answer. Your extender gets its IP address from your router, the unnamed "box" your internet provider gave you.
Going back up the food chain, your router, with its 192.168.1.1 address, is probably connected to a modem. What is that.
Again, like the "box", what is the make and model?
Why are you trying to change the IP address on the extender/ What problem are you trying to fix?
Forget about your idea of the solution, start with the problem you are trying to fix.
And provide the details of the rest of the equipment on our network.
